Answer:

“Inferior courts” - to distinguish them from the Superior Court, which is usually empowered to hear serious crimes like felonies, family and juvenile law cases, and lawsuits involving high dollar amounts.

“Justice courts” - county-level courts with elected judges who handle lower-level cases, including the initiation of felony prosecutions, small-dollar lawsuits, evictions, and misdemeanor offenses.

“Municipal courts” - city-level courts who handle traffic, misdemeanors, orders of protection, and city code violations.

“Non-record courts” - a generic term referring to courts who do not usually record their proceedings with court reporters (though many of them maintain taped or digital recordings).

“Traffic courts” - specialized courts which handle only civil traffic offenses, usually as part of a municipal or justice court.

“Small claims court” - usually part of the justice court system, where small-dollar cases are heard.
